Zde je pár citátů z úst těch nejslavnějších představitelů naší profese. Ukrývají mnoho pravdy. Váhala jsem, zda je přeložit do češtiny, ale bála jsem se, abych je tím neznehodnotila… takže zatím pouze v originále:
Nothing is as dangerous in architecture as dealing with separated problems. If we split life into separated problems we split the possibilities to make good building art.
Alvar Aalto
Beauty: the adjustment of all parts proportionately so that one cannot add or subtract or change without impairing the harmony of the whole.
Leon Battista Alberti
My hand is the extension of the thinking process - the creative process.
Tadao Ando
A house is a machine for living in.
Le Corbusier
I prefer drawing to talking. Drawing is faster, and leaves less room for lies.
Le Corbusier
Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.
Frank Gehry
Architecture begins where engineering ends.
Walter Gropius
If your contribution has been vital there will always be somebody to pick up where you left off, and that will be your claim to immortality.
Walter Gropius
I do not feel certain until I have confronted my initial solution with other solutions - although in fact the first solution often proves to be the right one.
Arne Jacobsen
If a building becomes architecture, then it is art.
Arne Jacobsen
A great building must begin with the unmeasurable, must go through measurable means when it is being designed and in the end must be unmeasurable.
Louis Kahn
We live in an almost perfect stillness and work with incredible urgency.
Rem Koolhaas
